Mary, Duncan Avenue is West Side, and Britton Ave, which I had to look up on a map, is in McGinley Square. In my humble opinion, those 2 areas are dumpy/seedy.

Please see the photos that I posted in the previous 4 posts. These photos are of Historic Downtown Jersey City...this is the neighborhood I live in, and it is the only part of town that I would recommend living in.

so you grew up there? now do you understand why I feel the way I do about JC? I just remember almost every weekend having t9o go there and sit inside cause they were too scared to let us go out. It sucked lol!

Regarding St Michael's...I am thinking of putting an offer on a condo in the converted convent right next door to the church. The converted convent is just gorgeous.

I encourage you, on a nice Saturday, to take a stroll around there. There are some nice cafes/bars/restaurants there as well. I can recommend a few if you'd like.
